We did perfume making as our social event for work. Suzanna was so friendly and insightful. Loved our experience, would recommend!

My friend and I went to this class as a fun way to spend some time together. The space was so beautiful and calming and the owner was lovely and made us feel so welcome! We both made our own customised perfume to take home. Perfect activity! 10/10

Did this class for my teen’s birthday with a group of friends and the girls had a lovely time. They especially enjoyed making their perfumes at the end!

Teacher's response

Thank you Effie for your lovely review. We are glad your daughter enjoyed celebrating her birthday with us. The Essential Oil Perfume is very popular as everyone gets a gift they created from the party. Hope to see you back, maybe for a mums celebration next time.

Bianca Sciessere • Dec 2023

Suzanna hosted such a beautiful workshop for my team and I at our Christmas party last week! Not only was the workshop spaces absolutely adorable and clearly crafted with love and care, but the space was conducive to socialising while we all created our perfumes. Suzanna was patient and kind and helped facilitate a wonderful session. The experience was really unique and our team loved walking away with their own hand crafted creations in a waft of beautiful snelling perfume. Highly recommend Suzanna to anyone looking for a unique bonding experience for a small group! Thank you Suzanna!

Teacher's response

Thank you Bianca "Big Sisters" for the great review. We are so glad the team had an amazing experience at our studio. It warms our hearts to know that our space and experience brought a smile to everyone and allowed for a fun and memorable bonding experience. It was sure a special experience for me too. Hope the perfumes continue to bring positive energy to the family.

Lisa Su • Dec 2023

Suzanna was very attentive and helpful with the curation of the perfume and providing suggestions for food places in Melbourne. Would highly recommend.

Teacher's response

Thank you Lisa for your kind words! We are warmed to hear that Suzanna made the experience a memorable one for your stay in Melbourne. We pride being born in Melbourne and love sharing the charms of our city. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again when you visit next.

Wendy Wang • Nov 2023

We had a lovely time with Suzanna We were late due to unforeseen circumstances but Suzanna was very kind and forgiving. We thoroughly enjoyed the class with our perfumes and also bought some extra soaps and sprays. Suzanna is a very knowledgeable and helpful teacher who also recommended us places in Melbourne as we were new to the city. Overall it was a great experience and I look forward to ordering more of her products online.

Teacher's response

Thank you Wendy for your lovely review! We are glad to hear that you had a great time at the studio after navigating around Melbourne. We pride ourselves on providing a welcoming and relaxing environment for our customers.

It's wonderful that you also picked a few gifts for family and friends from our collection of nourishing products. We hope they love them and one day also meet them.

We greatly appreciate your kind words and we look forward to seeing you again in the future. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything or if you have any questions about our online ordering process. Best of luck with all of your future endeavours. You’re a bunch of very smart and lovely girls. Hope you get to visit Puffing Billy (with a car hire) and explore more of Melbourne next time.

The perfume making class was an extraordinary experience. The teacher's deep knowledge of perfume theory was matched by their approachability, making learning a joy. The atmosphere was a perfect blend of aesthetics and serenity, creating an ideal environment for creativity. Crafting my own fragrance under the guidance of such an expert was a unique and satisfying experience. I left with a personalized scent that felt like a part of me. I highly recommend this class for anyone looking to explore the art of perfumery in a captivating and tranquil setting. It's a truly remarkable journey for the senses.

Teacher's response

Thank you Jessica for your lovely review. We are glad you enjoyed the serenity and the holistic environment to craft your perfume with confidence. We are so touched you were able to extend a part of you in a different expression through perfumery. Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience and we hope to see you again soon for another sensory journey!

What a fun and enjoyable class. The workshop venue has a very cute, floral vibe and Suzanna was such a patient and friendly teacher - recommend her the perfume workshop to everyone.

Teacher's response

Thank you Michelle for your wonderful review. We are glad you enjoyed the workshop at our studio. We love the floral vibes too so our interiors have changed to surround the experience with more floral textures and colours. Hope to see you again to incorporate your perfumes into other natural products. Especially Timberwood :)

Linna Ding • Sep 2023

We had an absolute blast during the perfume-making session for my friend's hen party. Our teacher was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also highly entertaining, making the experience both informative and fun. Moreover, she went the extra mile by assisting us in capturing numerous memorable photos throughout the session. The entire experience was a perfect blend of enjoyment and relaxation, leaving us eager to return for more in the future.
Thank you so much for the gifts too! Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a wholesome and special day activity!

Teacher's response

Thank you Linna for your amazing review! We are so happy to hear that you all had an absolute blast to set the tone to the hens night. It's great to know that we made the experience informative and fun for everyone. We are so glad you were able to capture memorable photos of all the beautiful ladies!

Thank you for recommending our experience to others who are looking for a wholesome and unique way to connect. Hope you all remember to use the Essential Oil Perfume on the wedding day and create new memories. We can't wait to hear the stories next time we see you again.

This was a fantastic experience for me, my aunt and my cousin! Our teacher was very hospitable and knowledgeable. The step by step walk through was very clear and she even added some know how's and tips and background info that was so helpful for us newbies. Everything was so beautifully prepared and laid out for us. The shop itself was so aesthetic and the dried flowers and soaps were gorgeous. And at the end of the class, she wrapped our fragrances in ribbons that were also so beautiful. Thank you!

Teacher's response

Thank you Hannah! It was very sweet of you to bring your aunt and your cousin and you had such a fantastic experience with us. We love sharing info and tips with newbies like you. It's also wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the aesthetic of our shop with dried flowers and soaps. We hope you enjoyed your stay in Melbourne during Wintertime and looking forward to meeting “GuJe”, your mum next time. Thank you for your kind words!

Jonathan Alexs • Aug 2023

Excellent value for price, and the privacy of a private class was a really nice touch. The teacher was very helpful and knowledgeable and they had an excellent range of essential oils available for us to use. They even had us fill out a recipe sheet with the formula for each of our individualised perfumes. That way, if we liked it and wanted more after we ran out of the 10ml bottle we can order more, which I thought was a really awesome idea.

Teacher's response

Thank you Jonathan for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you found our workshop informative and private for the both of you. We are also glad that you enjoyed exploring our range of essential oils and created a special scent to take home.

Adeline McGinley • Apr 2023

Amazing fun and informative workshop- kids loved it. They had fun, we’re creative and got to take their hard work home with them. Would be great for an adult workshop too! Highly recommend. Suzanna was wonderful.

Teacher's response

Thank you Adeline for your fantastic review! The girls were amazing. It's great to hear that they had fun, showed off their creativity, and enjoyed taking home their designs. We appreciate your recommendation and agree that our workshop would be perfect for adults too. Thanks again for your support!
